Lucero Garcia, 26 called the arrest "unfair." She said she realizes how it sounds when family members of criminal suspects speak out on their behalf, but "I honestly feel they don't have enough evidence to convict him."

Isboset Martinez, the father of Lucero Garcia's children, said authorities are pointing at Garcia Torres "because of his image, but image isn't anything." He said Garcia's family feels sorry for Sierra's family and send them their best wishes.

Garcia Torres has a wife and 1-1/2-year-old daughter, and his wife is three months pregnant, his sister said.

"It feels like we're in a movie right now, an unfair movie," Lucero Garcia said.
